Our Guests' Reviews
We had a fantastic stay in Badgers. Lovely rooms, good facilities, a most welcoming cake, tea, egg & milk on arrival. Excellent situation for traveling for walks, houses and sites. Sherborne  Castle grounds are a must! Hunters Moon (next door) served excellent food for “meatatarians” & vegetarians – try the steak and ale mushroom & suet pudding good beer and cider too.
Thank you very much – our poodles loved it.
Thank you Suzy & Nick
Lovely place and convenient location for lots of places to visit. Attention to detail is great including the cake and eggs. Thank You!
Alasdair, Sarah & Isabelle
Spacious, airy lovely ‘home’. Every English bird you could want to see (p.s. bring binoculars next time!) Lots of info in the recreation room – a good short break!!
Paul & Marilyn
Even better the second time around – felt like home away from home! Loved seeing all the wildlife and I want to steal the rabbits they are so cute.
The ultimate holiday home, we will be back many many more times
